Defending on the road has not been a problem for Columbus Crew SC in 2018. Set to play its sixth match of the season against the Chicago Fire in Bridgeview this Saturday, the Black & Gold are the only team in the entire league which is yet to concede a goal when playing as a visitor – FC Dallas hasn’t play any road matches so far.
A couple of solid defensive performances granted Crew SC a season-opening 2-0 win over defending champions Toronto FC and a valuable road point in a scoreless draw against the Philadelphia Union two weeks later.
